Description
The seventh and final book in Cynthia Voigt's acclaimed Tillerman Series, about Dicey Tillerman and her family, where Dicey enters adulthood, learning life's lessons the hard way.
Dicey Tillerman knows you don't get what you want just by wanting it. She's prepared to work harder than she has ever done before to earn her living as a boat-builder. But running a business proves to be tougher than she could have imagined. So when a drifter turns up at her shop offering help for free - Dicey accepts. But does she trust him too much?
A moving tale that pulls no punches, Seventeen Against the Dealer follows characters introduced in Book One of the Tillerman Series, Homecoming, now a Collins Modern Classic.
